SEG/ME/NTS is a feature crime anthology consisting of three interconnected shorter films: THE INTRUDER follows the adventures of a cat burglar (Murray Utas) obsessed with breaking into homes - just to watch people sleep. His seemingly innocent voyeuristic addiction soon opens the door for more serious crimes as he becomes deeply involved in the lives of the people he watches. Brodi Roberts and Aaron Talbot star in MUSICAL CHAIRS - the tragedy of six strangers who awake one morning to find themselves poisoned by a man they've never met. Taunting his victims by telephone, the mystery man guides the group to locations containing the antidotes, only to provide some with the cure and others with death. VISIONS tells the tale of a disgraced police detective (Matthew Kloster) afflicted with premonitions of murders before they occur. Only his former partner believes his claims, hoping his dreams will lead her to apprehend a serial killer.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
